About this map

Seegmiller Mountain and the surrounding high desert of northwestern Arizona are depicted in this late 1970s topographic study. The landscape is defined by its water management strategy, where natural features like Seegmiller Spring and Clay Spring are supplemented by man-made catchments such as Pocum Tank, Dutchman Tank, and the Hole-n-Wall Reservoir. These features, along with several ponds like Emily Pond and Sunshine Pond, suggest a history of seasonal grazing or resource management in an otherwise arid environment.

Transportation is limited to a network of Jeep Trails that navigate the dramatic elevation changes between the West Mesa and the lower-lying Lower Hurricane Valley. The map also names local landforms like Main Street Valley and the Twist Hills, providing specific geographic identifiers for a remote corner of Mohave County. This record is particularly useful for understanding the distribution of vital water sources across the canyon and flatland terrain.
